How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 python-django to version 1.4.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-django package and not the python-django package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The django.forms.ImageField class in the form system in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 completely decompresses image data during image validation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by uploading an image file.
